It was my 1st time there, I booked a table yesterday bcoz I didnt know if I can just pop in or not, I was treated like royalty as we walked in they were like Ms Happy Hi!, before I could even tell them my name,good location, more than enough parking space, good atmosphere,I liked the water feature. Staff members are professional, helpful & friendly. Gary was our waiter he was respectful & friendly, we are definitely going back there.
Excellent service. Friendly staff and delicious, well prepared food.
What a wonderful restaurant. Mozart was our patron. He was polite, patient and ever ready to serve. The food was very tasty indeed. Prices are reasonable. Sadly the restaurant is not busy as it normally would be. Covid has caused many businesses to close downA good experience indeed and a large variety of meals to select from. Spoil yourself!
Enjoyed everything about Rio sol👌👌👌the service from the waiter(Andrew) and the manager wow..keep up the good work..definitely coming back 😋
Food is horrible, although the steak was rare as ordered the taste was horrible and sour, the chicken snitchel tasted like old bread and the mushroom sauce was sour as well and dit not have that wonderful mushroom flavour at all. No wonder the place was empty. This used to be my favorite restaurant in the vaal but sadly the quality of food has dropped to a distasteful level
Awesome experience, once again. Superb service end great food. With the main goal achieved, a superb time with family. Highlr recommended and absolute value for money!
Good prawns but sole was small, not great and overpriced. Very good service. Manager was not interested in complaint about the sole.
This experience was so great wanted to keep it a secret. Came across it by accident and will be returning. Had the best seafood inland ever. The Menu has something for everyone. Spoiled for choice it was difficult to choose. Bonus points to the Owner you get to choose from a variety of seating options according to your taste. Extremely friendly staff and great service. Paid a fraction of the going rate for lobster and prawns at some 5 star rated Restaurants and this little gem of a place delivered better quality. Hope to return soon.
Staff and management extremely professional and food was delicious
Good food. Good service, the waiters are friendly and professional. The food arrived quickly and was delicious. It is a nice venue, recently revamped. There is a great wine selection.
An outstanding restaurant! Scrumptious food, polite staff and managers, unique interior and much more! A nit-pick I have is that the dishes are a little on the expensive side...but honestly the food is worth the price!
Rio Sol is a 5 star experiance! Best fresh quality food and very good service!! I will be visiting every chance I get!!!
Great starters, trio of Calamari and Trio of Snails, superb. Followed by a Carne Pizza with extra chilli. Great eating, great service and cold draft, couldnt ask for better.
5 stars for consistently good food and service from countless visits over the years. We have NEVER been disappointed. Great venue as well. Always a pleasure 👍🏻👌🏻
This used to be our date night spot when we lived in the Vaal, enjoying their delicious prawns with a glass of wine.We went there to celebrate my dads birthday tonight.Everyone decided to try something different, from their seafood platters to steak, pizza, stuffed calamari tubes, snails, salad and crème brûléé...Every bite of every dish was absolutely mouth-watering!!The service is beyond amazing complimented by such a relaxing vibe!Definitely one of the best go-to spots in the Vaal! 👌
It was my daughters last day in SAAnd the food was fantastic
Stunning food and service. Im portuguese and I love the attention to detail and just real quality of food and table service from multiple shell bowls to the need service bar on the tables so dying before you get service does not happen here. We will be regulars I can assure u.
It had improved hugely.Some of the dishes were amazing.My calamari was not so good
Epic food epic service definitely a place to go if you want to go on a date and flex a bit
Food and service was amazing 👌
How can I even begin to explain how wonderful this place is, the food is just so absolutely mouth watering and the food smells absolutely devine, the painted walls just look so beautiful and it is a very romantic and beautiful place to have a meal I would recommend this place to anyone who asks about tbis place the prawns is my favorite!! 100/10 for this place, also their koi look very healthy and beautiful!

Its such a nice place & food is divine ❤️
New owners but same good quality food - thats what brings us back for almost the past 20 years👍
Service excellent, delicious food.
Amazing service, and good food too
As assual we had a good time at Rio Sol.
It is not that I disliked it totally. My previous experience was good. The last time we actually just went in. As soon as we got a table the waiter told us that the kitchen will close soon (and being parents of 3 kids we NEVER get alone time). We didnt want to feel rushed and decided to go to Fandangos whose kitchen stays open much later!
Best customer service🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great service and great food.
Great service and food is great
Awesome service and food.
Nice and cozy. I definitely recommend this place, special for groups
The reception was out of this world, food was on point.
My favourite restaurant. Always on point with delicious food. Doesnt matter what you order, the taste will be amazing. 😁
Delicious food with fast and friendly service.
Enjoyed the fish.Great place
One of the best restaurants in the vaal, they actually pay attention to how good the food is rather than the quantity of it! At the end of meal one feels full yet ready for more! The desserts are really tasty, but an improvement in comfort would not be alien
Great food, great service
Best ever!
Been here for 5 or 6 meals over a period of 8 years or so. It is an absolute pleasure to see the standards have remain top class in all aspects. Keep up the good work guys.
Great atmosphere. Friendly, competent staff. Excellent food, all our visits over many years, never disappointed.
We had a Fantastic evening at Rio Sol. The decor is welcoming and homely. We enjoyed the Double Up on Prawns Special. The place was packed and the friendly, efficient staff were on the ball making us feel at home. The prawns were superb, juicy and flavorsome.The food was very good and would certainly suggest a visit if you are in the area.
Amazing food. Good service. I reccomend the pizza, the Ingredients are fresh and its just simply delicious. After your meal I really recommend the bar one cake. Its delicious.
Service upto date. Staff has team work. Enjoyed my afternoon with my Hubby
The food at Rio Sol is of excellent quality! The Restaurant is clean and looks really great, whilst we feel safe with the kids playing outside as the play area has been fenced off.The last time we went the service was slightly below the norm at Rio Sol, since the waiter didnt speak very clearly and in, what appeared to be, a foreign accent. The waiter was friendly though and we were served quickly and no mistakes were made with the orders.
Good tasting food and great service
Great food and service
We went here for lunchThe food is awful. Service is slow.Its not the same Rio Sol we used to go to years ago. The food quality isnt great. Wine selection is pathetic. The bathrooms are like an out house in a poor townshipWhat a disappointment.Awful.
I must say the service was great and the food delicious. I would recommend this Returant for anyone!!!
A very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is always fast and friendly. The food is great.
Always such a great foodie experience.Great food, great service (thank you Tayvon, you are a great waiter).See tou soon.
Food and service is excellent
Its old, classic and on the river. Depending on your room rate and if you enjoy/value the views, youll enjoy your stay.The carpets need cleaning/replacing, the place needs tender loving care.But I enjoyed my stay
Our happy place! Monique is the best! Food the best.
Enjoyed this restaurant, enough secure parking. Venue has outside and indoor seating. Food selection is varied, prices are good. Quality of dishes are great. Sevice is excellent. Open and clean. Can recommend this without hesitation.
Food was great and service to match.
Good food. Good service. Been there a few time and have had a good experience every time. Thanks rio sol and staff.
